My friend has been dealing with hemorrhoids for the past 8 months and the doctor recommended surgery to remove them but he's really scared of going under the knife Is there any other way to treat hemorrhoids without surgery
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
External hemorrhoids can be treated non-surgically with a variety of methods, including topical creams, sitz baths, ice packs, and lifestyle changes like increasing fiber and hydration. Over-the-counter medications containing hydrocortisone or witch hazel can help relieve pain and itching, while warm sitz baths can soothe the area. Applying ice packs can reduce swelling, and a high-fiber diet can help prevent straining during bowel movements

View allI'm having some pain when I poop, and I've noticed there's a mole or something that has popped up near my butt hole. It's not bleeding, but I'm worried. What could it be? Is this something I should be concerned about?
It sounds like you may have developed a hemorrhoid or a skin tag near the anal area. While it's not uncommon, I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and to discuss potential treatment options, especially if the pain persists.

I'm 34 and have been told I have piles, but another doctor thinks it might be condyloma. My current doctor says it's external piles and recommends surgery. What should I do? I'm confused about the different opinions and unsure if surgery is the right step
It's understandable to be confused with conflicting diagnoses. Since you've been told both "piles" (hemorrhoids) and "condyloma" (anal warts), and your current doctor suggests surgery, it's crucial to get a second opinion and clarify the diagnosis and treatment options
